Reviews

“Philosophical dream game, which in a virtuoso way combines the external plot with the thematic reflection on God, evil, love and the power of illusions. In terms of style and content, the film, peppered with quotes from film history and Woody Allen's work, exudes a certain coldness despite all its artistic quality due to its desired artificiality.
